That made 4 people very happy.<br />Animals always suffer when there is such a drought or even worse when there are wild fires or volcanic eruptions. We were fortunate for seeing these baby elephants having a great time at the little lake where still was water.<br />We did not have time for making great photos as we only traveled through the area, on our way elsewhere but at least we captured a glimpse of its beauty!<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-59344852367404852612018-08-26T11:16:45.713-04:002018-08-26T11:16:45.713-04:00Dearest Francisco Manuel,

That, together with love for photography and very much so for people, creates our story.<br />We were fortunate for being there and for being immersed into daily life through our work and the sharing precious time with the locals. That is quite a different impact than being under the umbrella of a touring group!<br />Wish we had had our iPhones back than for capturing things even better!<br />Thanks for your meaningful comments always and glad you enjoyed it.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-35276398772142651652018-08-26T06:49:14.635-04:002018-08-26T06:49:14.635-04:00It was really a rare chance to have a contact with...It was really a rare chance to have a contact with baby elephants. roughterrain cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394547924137198019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-11435282807386448162018-08-24T00:59:08.985-04:002018-08-24T00:59:08.985-04:00How amazing to be able to see those baby elephants...How amazing to be able to see those baby elephants, they are so cute :)<br />That was good that you managed to reconnect with Mr Divvela, isn't technology so great?Samihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467163627586022816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-18132877426462246282018-08-23T18:36:13.563-04:002018-08-23T18:36:13.563-04:00Baby elephants are so adorable, you just have to l...Baby elephants are so adorable, you just have to look at these photos to see that they have put a smile on the face of every single person.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-49636969640667776562018-08-23T11:56:30.777-04:002018-08-23T11:56:30.777-04:00How wonderful you got to reconnect with D.
